In February 2025, I took part in IDefine – a week-long project by Lucid, the study association of Industrial Design at TU/e. Multiple groups worked for the municipality of Eindhoven on Het Eindhoven van de Toekomst, designing ways to involve residents in choosing future goals for the city. The week included a social design workshop on the streets, a visit to the social design company Morgenmakers, and an alumni panel with four Industrial Design graduates. We wrapped up with final presentations to the municipality and enjoyed several social events like dinners and drinks!

This week gave me hands-on experience with social design, quick co-creation, and presenting ideas to real stakeholders. It was a great opportunity to see how designs can be implemented in practice – and to have a lot of fun (and free food) along the way!
